LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER Sarah’s story
Sarah’s Story
Everything Look Good Feel Better do is aimed at boosting the physical and emotional wellbeing of people living with cancer in the UK. One of their beneficiaries, Sarah, has offered to share her cancer story.
SARAH is a 53-year-old Housing Officer who lives in Bristol with her husband Mike and has two grown-up children.
She loves reading, Pilates, travelling and socialising with her friends. In
November 2018, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and then sadly once again in 2019. “In 2018, I had a lumpectomy and no further treatment,” she says, “the second diagnosis was more serious however and I had a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I am currently awaiting a further surgery which was cancelled in
February due to the pandemic.”
After hearing about Look Good Feel
Better from her friend Debbie, Sarah decided to attend one of their virtual workshops last year at a time when
Covid and cancer had left her feeling increasingly isolated: “Hospitals can’t offer this sort of support and you really need it after going through treatment… though I didn’t realise it was exactly what I needed until I attended the workshops! The practical tips were so helpful,
but it was the mental lift that gave me so much.
The kindness and compassion from the volunteers was phenomenal, and the kinship with the other women on the course who have had similar experiences was so empowering.”

Since then, Sarah has gone on to attend all of their virtual workshops — Skincare and Makeup; Hand and Nail Care; Hair
Loss and Headwear; and even Chair
Yoga. “It was a lifeline during lockdown when I had little contact with the outside world,” Sarah explains. “I hope the volunteers understand the magnitude of what they are giving. I credit these
workshops and the ongoing support I have received with the great shape I’m in mentally today. It was a giant leap forward in my recovery.”
